General Referee Fees

State Administration Fee

Any individual using the certification tools on the MNSRC site is subject to a $40 State Administration Fee. This includes any referee, instructor, assessor, or assignor. Out-of-state referees using the MNSRC site but filing their USSF registration fee with another state are still subject to this $40 fee. This fee covers the cost of operation of the website and expenses related to the Minnesota State Instructional and Assessment/Mentor programs.

This fee is non-refundable. Payment of this fee opens up access to the online certification process, and once it has been paid this service has been provided. It is strongly recommended that users should be sure they intend to certify before committing to payment.

USSF Referee Registration Fee

US Soccer requires a $40 registration fee to certify as a new official. This is in addition to the State Administration Fee.

Any USSF registration fees paid during the window between July 1, 2019 and September 30, 2019 are non-refundable. Those fees are only applicable towards progression towards certification for the summer clinic season of 2019.

Futsal Fees

USSF Futsal Registration Fee

US Soccer requires a $45 fee to certify to officiate futsal. This is in addition to the State Administration Fee. In order to access this fee you must be approved as a referee as well. Payment of this fee enables access to futsal training, which is entirely online, and therefore this fee is non-refundable.

Refund Requests

Refunds are not available for any transactions made prior to September 30, 2019. A refund policy will be implemented for the 2020 registration season.
